SUPRASUZUKI Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 There could of been diesel there Indeed there could.:)I'm sure you could smell a strange oily smell as you got out of the car, couldn't you?? That'll be the Diesel. I've slid off bikes a couple of times on Diesel and you can smell it as you slide along the road. Another reasons to stop riding / sliding on the road. PS it's a capital D as it's a name. As in Rudolf Diesel (the 'inventer'). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hope you get it sorted Vicky!! Sounds like it could have been a lot worse....... It's raining here and the roads are a bit slippery. Just changed my mind about going out in the Supe after reading this....... Mondeo......here we go!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Sorry to see this Vicky. I went to turn right at one of those pathetic painted roundabouts once which was covered in Diesel. I went completely straight on, the car slid like it was on ice but luckily didn't hit anything. Even after regaining it and continuing on my journey, the Diesel on my tyres caused my to slide all over the place. I've also actually seen why Diesel commonly ends up in patches at turns and roundabouts. While on patrol once, I saw an artic negotiating a corner and he had left his filler cap off after filling up, the Diesel flew out all over the place like it was under pressure. Good luck with it Vicky, you'll have it sorted before long, if them wheels can't be sourced anymore, your insurance will have to fork out for a new set to your liking (every cloud and all that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1933 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 This isnt good, sorry to hear you had an accident..was just looking at your car pics last night actually! Must have been some sort of foreign substance on the ground to cause the slip at such low speeds so not ur fault. If you need a hand with anything or your insurance company dont play ball ( i know, i work for 1!) then let me know and i will see if i can help!

Lewis Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 ..... PS it's a capital D as it's a name. As in Rudolf Diesel (the 'inventer'). Well done Sherlock (see what I did there?), not many people know that it seems. Vicky, I do hope my wasn't taken to heart and that you soon get your car back to A1. My wink was a reference to the fact that whenever an inexperienced Supra (I did it again) driver goes for a 'spin' then it is attributed to Diesel on the road. I'm glad you are OK and hope the damage is easily sorted for you. Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Remember guys and gals - be careful! Ive been driving the same route to work for 2 years in supe and this has never happened, it only takes that split second Oh no, this has happened to me before....I later found out that there was some spilt diesel on the road.....

dangerous brain Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'm sorry but my money is still on the unsuspected unrequired kick downs that have killed many a supra. The roads would have to be completely covered in oily substances to justify the amount of diesel spills we hear about these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
